1844 1st Charles Dickens Martin Chuzzlewit English Literature Satire Illustrated If I was a painter, and was to paint the American Eagle, how should I do it? Charles Dickens, Martin Chuzzlewit This rare first edition, first issue, was believed by Dickens to be his best work, though it was the least popular of his works. Dickens originally released the story in 20 monthly parts; however, upon realizing its failing popularity, he changed the plot to send the title character, Chuzzlewit, to America. Dickens sought to elaborate on his own views of selfishness in America, and, in doing so, created popularity within a lesser-known character. This first issue meets the expected edition points, found only in the earliest printings of this work. See below.
